Play pool? English is what you put on the cue ball to make it spin correctly. You can make the cue ball ride all the way around a ball to hit the target, which could be set to spinning too. Sometimes you have to. But the shot happens once and it's over. The game continues, but no two shots are identical.
So why does the Blame the Democrats First party consistently try to spin "Blame America First"? I think we've all made it pretty clear we blame the Republicans. The whole mob tries like crazy to spin the story around the big ball in their path.
"Redeploy" is another piece of English. This time, it's us Americans being polite. Republicans of every stripe (maybe there are Republicans with other than a white stripe down their backs) complain: "Why don't they say 'withdraw' or 'surrender'?" I think what we're saying is this:
"Thank you very much Mr. Bush, you've done a super job. But now it's time to stop screwing up everything you touch. Go back on vacation. You said it yourself: Mission Accomplished. It was hard to ignore, you rode in a plane, landed on a carrier in the Atlantic and strutted before a big banner that read 'Mission Accomplished.' Still we wage war, so I guess that's the mission. Afghanistan was easy, relevant and incomplete- and with no oil or strong allies it wasn't causing any global trouble. Permanent war is the mission. I understand. Go back to Texas so we can return to a leadership position in the world. Ousting you would give us back the moral authority you squandered ineffectively as poilitical capital."
But this wouldn't be the first time they didn't read the memo.

Why don't you go back to Russia and get gay-married.
Hi Pat,
Do you have a girlfriend yet?
Never been to Russia. I'd go if necessary, but not for fun. Or a second marriage partner.
I doubt actually that Russia would permit it for their own, certainly not for an alien.
I understand phony conservative but properly wacko Utah society is permissive of multiple-partner relationships, as are Saudia Arabia-type countries. But alas, America is still a place where the national government hasn't embarked on the groovy Orwellian practice of legislating appropriate marriage partners.
Wheee,
Joe
I'm sorry, I couldn't read what you wrote. The words were clouded by a fog of hippie-smoke that smelled like patchouli and burnt flag.
